Administering the WMIC
Configuring and Enabling RADIUS
27
Cisco 3200 Series Wireless MIC Software Configuration Guide
In this example, the bridge is configured to recognize two different RADIUS group servers (
group1
and
group2
). Group1 has two different host entries on the same RADIUS server configured for the same
services. The second host entry acts as a failover backup to the first entry.
bridge(config)#
aaa new-model
bridge(config)#
radius-server host 172.20.0.1 auth-port 1000 acct-port 1001
bridge(config)#
radius-server host 172.10.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
bridge(config)#
aaa group server radius group1
bridge(config-sg-radius)#
server 172.20.0.1 auth-port 1000 acct-port 1001
bridge(config-sg-radius)#
exit
bridge(config)#
aaa group server radius group2
bridge(config-sg-radius)#
server 172.20.0.1 auth-port 2000 acct-port 2001
bridge(config-sg-radius)#
exit
Configuring RADIUS Authorization for User Privileged Access and Network Services
AAA authorization limits the services available to a user. When AAA authorization is enabled, the
bridge uses information retrieved from the user profile, which is in the local user database or on the
security server, to configure the user’s session. The user is granted access to a requested service only if
the information in the user profile allows it.
You can use the
aaa authorization
command in global configuration mode with the
radius
keyword to
set parameters that restrict a user’s network access to privileged EXEC mode.
The
aaa authorization exec radius local
command sets these authorization parameters:
•
Use RADIUS for privileged EXEC access authorization if authentication was performed by using
RADIUS.
•
Use the local database if authentication was not performed by using RADIUS.
Note
Authorization is bypassed for authenticated users who log in through the CLI even if authorization has
been configured.
To specify RADIUS authorization for privileged EXEC access and network services
, follow these steps,
beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
To disable authorization, use the
no aaa authorization
{
network
|
exec
}
method1
command in global
configuration mode.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
aaa authorization network radius
Configures the bridge for user RADIUS authorization for all
network-related service requests.
Step 3
aaa authorization exec radius
Configures the bridge for user RADIUS authorization and determines if
the user has privileged EXEC access.
The
exec
keyword might return user profile information (such as
autocommand
information).
Step 4
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verifies your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
